Open original source ↗“I’m about 4 months into recovery from a 4-year long heavy adderall addiction and things feel like they’re geting worse and that there’s very little to hope for in the future. I’ve tried meeting up with m friends and family but when I do I can barely talk about anything other than how shitty I’m feeling because my mind feels completely blank. It’s very hard to socialize when my mind has nothing going on and nothing feels good. I’m worried that I’ll lose all of my friends because this is my personality now. I even feel bad about posting this because it’s such a downer and I don’t think there’s really anything that can be said to help me, but I guess I’m just wondering if anyone has been able to navigate through a similar experience.”
- Cause
- r/REDDITORSINRECOVERY first-person OP HazzB (post wr7cp3): ~4 months into recovery from 4-year heavy Adderall addiction → completely blank mind + nothing feels good / brain-dead socialization. Unused Adderall-withdrawal BOTH (stimulant cause gap). Non-Invega.
- Duration
- ~4 months into recovery at 18 Aug 2022 post after ~4 years heavy use; still blank + anhedonic
- Recovery notes
- States things feel worse / little hope; worried personality is permanently blank. Asking if anyone navigated similar. Enriched from arctic-shift full OP selftext (2026-09-13). OP comment: asked others whether personality returned and roughly how long it took — still seeking recovery timeline. Live Reddit confirms still blank/anhedonic at post; OP asked others if personality returned and how long. No personal symptom recovery reported.
